Poll: Majority of Americans Fear Post-Election Civil War

A poll of a selection of U.S. voters found 56 percent of respondents said they expect to see “an increase in violence as a result of the election” amongst other reservations about the election results just weeks before Election Day.

When asked about just what sort of violence they expected to see, those polled responded with “riots,” “looting,” “burning” as some of their predictions. “Trashing of cities” was another response.

The YouGov poll was completed between October 1 – 2, 2020 and used 1,503 respondents.

It followed another poll released October 1 that found 61 percent of Americans agree with the concern the U.S. could be on the verge of another Civil War.

Additionally, 52 percent of consumers have also stockpiled food or essential goods in anticipation of social unrest tied to a resurgence of coronavirus in the coming months and/ or the election.

The responses follow a tumultuous summer of street riots across America led by left-wing political agitators.

Yougov. Pfffftttttt! As has been stated here before, after the results are finally in (within two or three weeks of Nov 3) regardless of the outcome, most folks will go to the grocery store, gas station, out to dinner, for a drive. In the dem run hell holes things may ramp up a bit. Long drawn out fire fights? Probably not. Mall shoot outs? Probably not. But, staying alert may mean staying alive. As always. Hopefully all will be good.

Put the blame of FEAR on the left,education system and the media. They perpetuate all of this because fear is power as well as knowledge. The left wants more fear and less knowledge.

Guns? Check. Ammo? Check (and looking for more). Spare food and supplies? Check. Staying the hell away from Austin? Check. Probably for good except to drive down Tx 130 to get past Austin.

Ready.

If only we had a system that was observable, auditable and had results in a few hours...

Oh wait...we did.

Just try to find guns and ammo if you doubt that this is true.

Coexisting with the Left is becoming increasingly problematic for those who want personal freedom and to live peaceful lives in an orderly society.

Some structural changes in the country seem inevitable.

Besides Antifa and the enemedia ... the big problem is Soros bought officials like Mayors and AGs and DA’s that press charges against patriots that defend themselves. After the election these Soros stooges need to be found dancing in trees

You have not been paying attention. Just keep telling yourself that.

I have my stock of everything except primers. If I buy them now they’re double the normal price sometimes 3 times the cost.

Trump is on a path to win in a landslide. Hard to protest, riot or civil war after a sweeping victory by the GOP.

So you, like PDJT, failed to act in a timely manner on a matter of great importance. LOL! Curious if the prices will ever return to reasonable or is this the new norm. If so, I could be a lot wealthier than I thought. With some of the ammo being .60+/rd. BOOM!

A civil war implies a clash between opposing political views.

What we have in this country is a conflict between the forces of law and order (Republicans) and a gathering of criminals (Democrats).

Anyone who still supports the Democrat Party has a criminal heart.

They know that the leaders of the Democrat Party are criminals.

They are fine with supporting criminals because they hope the criminals will steal and bully for them.

This are getting nuts with less than a month left. I just tried to purchase 12 gauge slugs online, and they sold out while I was filling out the payment form.
